Risk of injury.

Hood release

Raise the bonnet, unclip the prop rod 4 from its holder 5 and, for your safety, be sure to place it in the slot 3 on the bonnet.

After
any impact, even a minor one, to the grille or bonnet, have the bonnet locking system checked as soon as possible by a Brand Representative.

Closing the hood

Check that nothing has been left in the engine compartment.

To close the bonnet, return the prop rod 4 to its holder 5, hold the bonnet by the middle and guide it to within 30 cm of the closed position, then release it. It will lock automatically under its own weight.

Make sure
the bonnet is properly latched.

Make sure nothing obstructs the latch mechanism (gravel, cloth, etc.).

After
any work in the engine compartment, make sure nothing has been left behind (rags, tools, etc.). These may damage the engine or cause a fire.
